In Considering Horsemanship one of America's most prolific and devoted equestrian writers, Tom Moates, returns taking an all new approach to thinking about horsemanship. The subtitle sums it up: A Book of Ideas Inspired By Two Decades of Harry Whitney Horsemanship Clinic Journals. Moates revisits the tattered pages of a pile of clinic notebooks filled with observations and insights scribbled down at round pens, arenas, bunkhouses, and barns across America and over the years-then each chapter kicks off with a thought provoking quote from his mentor plucked from those pages. These sage remarks become launching points for in depth discussions on aspects of horsemanship with unique insights, inspirations, and often comical queries in Moates's celebrated style. For more on Tom Moates, his other 12 horse books, and his horsemanship clinics please visit: www.TomMoates.com.

Not-for-Profit (5th) Edition. . . . Welcome to an educational and entertaining encounter with your RV's 12-Volt Electricity. This Primer was explicitly designed to get all RVers thinking in a different direction. Written for all RV enthusiasts, especially those who are: Initially "CONSIDERING" RVing, Just "BEGINNING" their RVing experience, Have been "CAMPING for YEARS," or, Living the dream of "FULL-TIMING." . . . The information within will clearly demonstrate that an RV "house" battery is NOT like a car "starting" battery, and give everyone the background to understand just how many different "things" in their RV are actually powered by 12-Volts, as well as why this system is considered to be the RV's "lifeblood." Additionally, this Primer endeavors to help all readers establish a good working knowledge of "basic" 12-Volt RV Electricity. Principally, a knowledge level that will enable each reader to start thinking in terms of efficient "maintenance and use" of their 12-Volt system, and, thus, preventing the proverbially frustrating, "I Think The Batteries Are Dead?!" . . . The included Editorial Comments embody the author's many years of hands-on experience: using and living in RV's, conducting the business of repairing RVs, and also specializing in educating the RV owners. Also included are lots of "tips and tricks" on how to help your RV's battery bank work more efficiently and "live" longer. . . . The ladies are especially encouraged to read everything between this book's covers. Then they will understand why it is more probable to check for a "blown fuse" rather than a "tripped circuit breaker." . . . Note: Not-Eligible-for-Wholesale-Purchase. . . . WHY A "NOT-FOR-PROFIT" EDITION? . . . When it was first written, this Primer was an integral part of the author's Understanding Your RV series of four books for all RVers. Unfortunately, it has been out of circulation far too long and not available for several editions as a stand-alone book. It was, however, offered as a free "bonus" book when purchasing the other three books ("Shore Power," "Appliances," and "Holding Tanks") as a set. . . . Ideally, as a publishing company, we would like make up for the angst many readers have expressed because of its stand-alone scarcity and give the book away for free. Regrettably, to do so has proven to be very challenging. There are several "production" layers in a publication venture, which require financial compensation. . . . As a result, we are offering this updated (5th) edition of the "Battery Power" Primer to our readers for the cost of minimal fees - those required by others who are a part of the "production" process: Professional Preparation Fees, Printing Fees, Promotion Fees, and Sales Processing Fees, to name just a few. . . . It is appropriately referred to as a "Not-for-Profit" book because the author, while retaining his copyrights, is foregoing Royalty income from the sale of this special edition of "Battery Power." Also, this Primer will not be available for what is known as "Expanded Distribution," meaning it will not be available for Volume Wholesale Purchasing. Hence the "Not Eligible for Wholesale Purchase" tag at the bottom of the pages.

"It's now the norm for NBA and collegiate teams to have international players dotting their rosters. The Olympics are no longer a gimme for Team USA. Both via fans streaming from all over the globe and leagues starting in countries throughout the world, the international presence of the game of basketball is a force to be reckoned with. That all started with Hakeem "the Dream" Olajuwon. "Dream," for short. He was the first international player to win the MVP, which is hard to believe now considering the last time an American born player won it was four years ago. Award-winning hoops journalist Mirin Fader explores this phenomenal shift through the lens of what Olajuwon accomplished throughout the 1980s and 90s. Dream ignites nostalgia for Phi Slama Jama and "the Dream Shake," while also exploring the profound influence of Olajuwon's Muslim faith on his approach to life and basketball, and how his devotion to his faith inspired generations of Muslim people around the world. Olajuwon's ongoing work with NBA Africa, his status as an international ambassador for the game, and his consultations with today's brightest stars, from LeBron James to Giannis Antetokounmpo, brings the story right up to the present moment, and beyond. Synthesizing hundreds of interviews and in-depth research, Fader provides the definitive biography of Olajuwon as well as a crucial understanding of his pivotal impact on the ever-shifting game"--

Doc, Donnie, the Kid, and Billy Brawl focuses on the 1985 New York baseball season, a season like no other since the Mets came to town in 1962. Never before had both the Yankees and the Mets been in contention for the playoffs so late in the same season. For months New York fans dreamed of the first Subway Series in nearly thirty years, and the Mets and the Yankees vied for their hearts. Despite their nearly identical records, the two teams were drastically different in performance and clubhouse atmosphere. The Mets were filled with young, homegrown talent led by outfielder Darryl Strawberry and pitcher Dwight Gooden. They were complemented by veterans including Keith Hernandez, Gary Carter, Ray Knight, and George Foster. Leading them all was Davey Johnson, a player’s manager. It was a team filled with hard nosed players who won over New York with their dirty uniforms, curtain calls, after-hours activities, and because, well, they weren’t the Yankees. Meanwhile the Yankees featured some of the game’s greatest talent. Rickey Henderson, Dave Winfield, Don Mattingly, and Don Baylor led a dynamic offense, while veterans such as Ron Guidry and Phil Niekro rounded out the pitching staff. But the Yankees’ abundance of talent was easily overshadowed by their dominating owner, George Steinbrenner, whose daily intrusiveness made the 1985 Yankees appear more like a soap opera than a baseball team. There was a managerial firing before the end of April and the fourth return of Billy Martin as manager. Henderson was fined for missing two games, Lou Piniella almost resigned as coach, and Martin punctured a lung and then gave drunken managerial instructions from his hospital room. Despite all that, the Yankees almost won their division. While the drama inside the Mets’ clubhouse only made the team more endearing to fans, the drama inside the Yankees’ clubhouse had the opposite effect. The result was the most attention-grabbing and exciting season New York would see in generations. And it was the season the Mets would win the battle for the hearts of New York baseball fans, dominating the New York landscape for nearly a decade, while the Yankees faded into one of baseball’s saddest franchises.
